It’s easter egg season! Dyeing easter eggs is a craft that I’ve always really liked. When I was little, we used to blow out eggs and decorate them, and hard boil some for decorating too. I think the blown out ones were special — though I can’t remember why. I just remember being horrified that raw egg was going to go into my mouth and some combination of that fear and my little kid lungs meaning that someone else had to blow the egg out for me.

These Doodle Easter eggs made with a black sharpie an help you get an intricate design like the pysanky eggs without the effort of dyeing. I don’t think I have a steady enough hand for this. My paisley designs even on paper come out looking kind of crazy in a bad way.

I think decoupage is probably my best option for getting an elaborate design! The best thing about decoupage is you don’t even have to use a real egg.

We’re hosting Easter this year! We hosted last year, too, but it was just my parents and Kyle’s parents. This year, we have my extended family and his grandma coming too. That means I’ll be in a fit cleaning the house Saturday and finishing up little chores. I hope I find time to dye some eggs!
